Reply to comment by WomanNotAGirl in What is your guilty pleasure? by Sea_Concentrate_6543

A guily pleasure doesn't have to be something you're actually guilty about, but usually just refers to something you enjoy that is widely hated.

Most guilty pleasures are not widely hated. They are just sneered at by a loud majority on the internet.

By the internets logic Rowling is the most hated person ever but in real life never met a single person who cares about her beyond her books.

Internet snobs are 0,00001 percent of the population.

I’m aware. It has shame attached to it. I refuse to feel shame for things I personally enjoy.

I like some of Justin Bieber’s songs.

I am unintentionally loud when I’m pleasured during sex and I don’t care if people hears me ie: roommates and stuff

I like TikTok a lot

I like cheerios and juice boxes

I like watching cartoons

I procrastinate and I’m more productive when I work on something the last minute

I love reality tv shows

Though I am not a die hard fan, I like Kim kardashian

Edit:

Guilty pleasures are activities, products, or habits that a person participates in because it brings them joy, yet it also makes them feel slight shame

I'm 'guilty' of most of those myself.

It’s all good. Doesn’t mean I don’t have substance. As one psychologists said it’s good to have those things. They are “mostly” healthy coping mechanisms. I’m big on looking at where terms come and on purpose trying to reframe them.

Like the term male dominated industry actually means an industry that’s refusing to adapt to accommodate women into it. I should know I’ve worked in such field for years.

I hear that’s very difficult as well. Curious to hear your experience.

It was good, I got lucky and worked with a good group of people. I may have been blind to things.
